The United States continues to enclose Russia from all sides: Poland, the Black Sea, Azerbaijan, Afghanistan

Washington continues the war against Russia, while only information, but this is still a preparatory period. So, 13 June at a briefing by the US Department of State Mark Toner, the official representative of the ministry, on the question of the official Washington’s opinion on the joint exercises of the American-Ukrainian forces near the Russian border, said that the United States is not interested in the United States. Another “blow” came from Baku, where the US ambassador said that Washington would support Azerbaijan in the Caspian Sea.

Message from the United States about the exercises on the Black Sea

It all started with the fact that the Russian Foreign Ministry published a message that the entry into the US-based cruiser Monterey, which is equipped with the Aeges anti-missile system, raises entry into the Black Sea basin to participate in the Ukrainian-American exercises Sea Breeze 2011, which is equipped with the Aegis antimissile system. It was reported that "we will not disregard the appearance of elements of the strategic infrastructure of the United States in close proximity to our borders, and we will perceive such steps as a threat to our security."

At the aforementioned briefing, Toner was asked about the teachings and reaction of Russia by a journalist from Ukraine. He replied: “Well, I think they are entitled to their own opinion. I am not going to analyze the words of the Russian Foreign Ministry: I should know more details about these exercises. But with Ukraine we have very close bilateral cooperation, and the past exercises fit into the framework of our relations. ”

USA and Poland

Began to carry out the program on the presence of the US military in Poland. Polish Defense Minister Bogdan Klich and US Ambassador Lee Feinstein signed an agreement on the presence of US troops in Poland. Already in 2012, the first military personnel will arrive, and in 2013, aircraft.

USA and Azerbaijan

Washington and Baku are starting a new stage of security cooperation, it will primarily concern the protection of the energy infrastructure in the Caspian Sea. The US Ambassador to Baku Matthew Bryza told this to 11 in June.

Prior to that, the Russian ambassador to Baku, Vladimir Dorokhin, said that Moscow opposes the construction of pipelines under the Caspian Sea. He reported this to 8 June at a press conference in Baku, commenting on news on the construction of a gas pipeline from Turkmenistan to Azerbaijan. According to him, this may violate the ecological state of the sea, and Russia is a Caspian country. The Russian ambassador said the following: “The draft Convention on the Legal Status of the Caspian Sea includes an article on the construction of Trans-Caspian pipelines. Russia and Iran believe that when building gas pipelines in the Caspian Sea, environmental issues should be coordinated and accepted by all 5 coastal states. ” While Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan believe that these issues can be solved only by countries involved in the construction of pipelines.

Under this project, the Trans-Caspian gas pipeline is to be laid along the Caspian seabed along the Tengiz-Turkmenbashi-Baku route, that is, Kazakhstan-Turkmenistan-Azerbaijan. Then, on Azerbaijani territory, they want to connect it with the already practically constructed Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum gas pipeline (Azerbaijan-Georgia-Turkey), which is one of the main sections of the NABUCCO gas pipeline system. Negotiations between Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan on this project are actively lobbied by the EU and the USA.

The NABUCCO project (the name of the project comes from Giuseppe Verdi's Nabucco opera, on behalf of King Nebuchadnezzar II), estimated at almost 8 billion euros (according to some estimates its cost could rise to 14 billion euros), involves the construction of a gas pipeline 3,3 thousand kilometers long which will connect the source of the resource - the Caspian region, the Middle East, through Turkey with Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Austria and further with other countries of Central and Western Europe. The main resource base for the project is considered Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan and Iraq, in the future, perhaps, Iran. The capacity of the pipeline is planned at the level of 31 billion cubic meters of gas per year. Ankara said that NABUCCO is a strategic project for Turkey and it will definitely be implemented. Participating in the construction are OMV Gas GmbH (Austria), BOTAŞ (Turkey), Bulgargaz (Bulgaria), SNTGN Transgaz SA (Romania), MOL Natural Gas Transmission Company Ltd. (Hungary), RWE AG (Germany).

Afghanistan

Another good news came about Afghanistan. It was reported that American troops would remain there after the 2014 of the year. Although recently it was said about the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, Barack Obama promised this during the election campaign. Although it was already known that if the USA came somewhere, it is very difficult to “ask” them, except for the experience of the Vietnamese.

As it became known to journalists of the British Guardian newspaper, the closed negotiations between the Americans and Kabul on the continuation of military partnership in the territory of Afghanistan have been underway for a month and a half. NATO and the United States are planning to stay in Afghanistan. In principle, information has already been received about this before: it was said that after 2014, NATO and the United States would curtail their own military activities (at least they would try) and would implement the experience of Iraq. US-Afghan joint bases will be created, through which Americans will train, advise and support Afghan forces. The main reason for remaining is the danger of Pakistan, since "the unmanaged territories of Pakistan have turned into shelters for terrorists and insurgents." Pakistan for the United States has now become a “target”, it is regularly hit at, destroying “terrorists”, causing the wrath of official Islamabad.

This year, if the troops and will withdraw, it is only minor parties, as it is possible exacerbation of the military situation. In addition, Americans express concerns about the state of the Afghan economy. According to the Americans, it was voiced in the report of the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Upper Chamber of Parliament, after the final withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan, the state expects a financial crisis. In just the 10 years, the States spent about 18,8 billion dollars on Afghanistan, this is without actually military spending.

It is clear that the real goal of preserving their military presence in the region is not the Afghan mujahedin, the Pakistani “terrorists” or the US concern for the economy of Afghanistan. The main goal is a presence in a strategically important region that allows you to influence Iran, China, India, Pakistan, Central Asia, Russia.

We can conclude that Russia continues to be laden with a bear in a den, and all words about friendship and cooperation are a tool of misinformation for Russian citizens and its authorities before the strike. The current USA and NATO is for us a new incarnation of Hitler, with their “New World Order”. The plan of "strangulation" of Russia in the arms of "anaconda" continues. The only right step for these actions will not be the chatter about violation of our interests, but the quickest rearmament of the army and fleet. The creation of an alternative NATO bloc of countries that are not going to participate in the construction of the "World Reich". Our endeavors can support Iran, Syria, China, Venezuela, Vietnam, Cuba, we will find understanding in India and Brazil, but in Europe we must look for common interests and rapprochement with Germany.

On paper, everything is very scary. Here is the base, there is the base. But in fact: the dispersion of forces and the absence of a shock fist.

I’ve been like this since childhood, from Soviet times I remember that in magazines and newspapers they loved to draw such maps: the peace-loving USSR, painted in red, and around the world, ships, planes, ships, planes as symbols. American bases. It made an impression. The children were crying.

But now the bearded "spirits" make a stronger impression on me than the Pindos base in Poland and the US-Ukrainian Sea Breeze 2011 exercises.

mitrich: "On paper, everything is very scary. Here is the base, there is the base. But in reality: the dispersion of forces and the absence of a shock fist."
That's not the point. The Americans are taking other countries and peoples hostage to a retaliatory strike. As a result of their aggression, the country will be forced to fight on all fronts, with many countries of the world, and this is impossible! Almost all of Europe and Asia are becoming hostages to the United States. And in Russia even Belarus has ceased to be called a friend. Well, at least they also call an ally. The geopolitical interests of the country, our authorities failed in full! It’s just right to ask a question: if 200 thousand deviators from Serdyukov’s army do not want to defend him or the government, is it ours? It’s good to be rich Pinocchio, but will the tin soldiers be at war for a wooden doll? That is the question!

[Cyberdragon]

I was always interested in the question, what is the meaning of a missile defense shield for the United States in the south, if almost the entire North is open?

[mitrich]

stavr,
there will be enough missiles for everyone: for the United States, and for Poland, and for Romania. The whole world is down the drain! Although I don't believe in a big war in Europe, kill me. Why shouldn't the Americans build bases? We printed as many "Baksiks" as needed, but paid for the rent. Other countries do not have such a wonderful machine tool, therefore they practically do not have bases abroad. It's expensive: rent, maintenance, staff. Russia can also have them, there are no problems, just pay. Do we need it? If we are to be equal, then the Germans and the Swedes, not the Pindos. They don't care where they go, everywhere they get pussies.
Are we going to fight with you? And there are many more who are, we will collect 5-10 million in case of need. So set aside defeatist moods!
PS Yes, and about Pakistan. Americans themselves rarely leave, usually through a good kick in the ass. I do not see any problems so that the packs would not give it to the amers.

[ksv_rnd]

Do you want to live in peace after there are enough rockets for it?
Imagine how you admire the sky through the eyepieces of a gas mask and for decades.

[APASUS]

Always reading about NABUCCO, I wonder how competently they push the project. A project that is not destined to be built. The United States does not want Iran to be strengthened and is unlikely to allow Iran to the pipe. Europe looks in the US ass and has no opinion. The pipe passes through areas with such a powder potential that the whole Caucasus can be burned by itself, which doesn’t need to be kindled. Not many will agree to give Turkey a pipe in hand, for economic blackmail.
When reading about our flows, I often see references that these projects will not pay off. NABUCCO will have an exorbitant price, according to the latest data it has already risen in two. In Europe, the crisis and such projects are more an instrument of blackmail than a serious project, although serious countries are playing it.

[saha]

Fucking officials if only to put the loot in their pockets, but do not care about the interests of the state and the people !!! Where do they then think to put their billions when the country will already be ?? Pindos do not need such a "elite". You have to be a fool not to see direct aggression from the West. In 40, we already went through this. It's the same now, but they keep giving Uncle Sam an ass.

[APASUS]

They are caught for these bank accounts (in Western banks). And then one often has to wonder why they signed the contract so quickly? (Obviously so unprofitable for Russia).

[figwam]

I agree with you Stavr, APASUS and saha.

[Max79]

This, as they say, is a "feast on the bones." and Stool, frankly speaking, piss, to oppose something to someone, so the way out here is to look for allies and confidently strengthen the once powerful army.

[voin-xnumx]

The NABUCCO project seems to me to be completed, despite the exorbitant cost (the Pindos will not regret money). Its meaning is not financial gain, but to hit Russia economically (our% of gas in Europe will fall). And Iran can not be allowed to the pipe. (Well, missiles aimed at Europe or underground rivers of chemical weapons will be "found" there - with the ensuing consequences).

[Alex]

Stop the United States capable of a disaster like the Japanese. Arrange it really. So think about how. Remember, the Japs shouted about the return of the northern territories, and as soon as the boys were struck by the tsunami, everyone calmed down, the same would happen with the guys from Washington. Artificially.

[voin-xnumx]

Yes, and after that, Medvedev invited them to develop and populate our Far East. You want Negroes to climb trees and cedars back in Siberia - they collected bananas like

[Max79]

Alex,
This is not an option. All you need to do is create a new bloc as opposed to the NATO bloc, which would bring together China, Russia, Venezuela, Cuba and other Latin American countries, part of Central Asia. And what you are proposing is more than unrealistic.

[marsupial]

Nabuco passes through the territories of the orphan and poor states - obedient (almost) to the State Department. The State Department needs a pipeline that they manage to keep Germany, France and Italy in check. The Suez Canal can be blocked by the "feral" Somalis, Libya's resources are already blocked by the State Department. The experience of the mines who installed American reactors scared the Europeans. So Germany, France and Italy are dependent (for now) on the will of the State Department in terms of ways of delivering energy resources. For example, when cunning Hans began to buy oil from Iran for ЕВРО!!!, then the coffeemen began to frighten them, that "Iranian missiles with atomic bombs" they will certainly punish nemchur for such impudence, because all the resources of the globe belong to the State Department and it is allowed to buy them only for DOLARS.
